I was randomly doing a bunch of little drawings to get people’s attention, including Poison Ivy, Wolverine, and Spock, who was bought up by Kevin before the ink even dried. Fun stuff! Also, just posted a new comic page over at [...]  I’m excited to say I finished a new commission and I like how it turned out!
